Jack Adams, Stanley Cup, fastest in the history of the NHL to 200 wins (which says a lot about the team and not as much about DB, I think)--pretty amazing. I just think it might be getting to a point where it's just not a good fit any more, I think he will still have a very successful coaching career regardless.

Good luck to him in Sochi, he needs all the experience he can get.

Look at what he has to work with though

Very true--which is why I prefaced the wins record with the point that it has much more to do with the team than who's in charge, but still...Crosby and/or Malkin have missed a significant portion of that time and we did just fine...except for when it mattered most of course...

Anyone know if DB will be at the "2013 US Men's National Team Orientation Camp" that's schedule to be held at the Capitals practice rink in August?

My daughter was SO excited to hear this camp was going to be local... only to have me CRUSH her joy... by pointing out... she won't be here that week... Disco Dan or Cape Hatteras... tough decision!!!!!!?????

Any one know the details of this camp? Have they resolved the issue of insurance, and will they actually skate at the camp? Asked at the rink yesterday and the only thing they could tell me so far is that Team USA has ice time on 8/25 at the crack of dawn... (7:40)?

Just returned from a 24 hour turn around trip to Pittsburgh... felt withdrawal symptoms driving down 5th... and walking around the Duquesne campus, when we would catch glimpses of Consol.

USA Hockey plans to conduct an orientation camp the last week of August in Arlington, Va., at Kettler Çapitals IcePlex, the practice facility of the NHL's Washington Capitals. The camp will feature the top men's players in the United States.

Typically camps are like 2-3 weeks before the start of NHL camp, they try and not mess with the players off season programs as much as possible
